- The d-pad and buttons feel great, and it feels "right" as a retro game controller.
- The analog sticks are small, but work well, with some limitations (see below).
- It's compact and travels well.
- Build quality is good; it's light, but feels solid, doesn't flex.
- You can use it wired or wireless.
- It works with Windows & Mac, also with Android and Switch (I haven't tested these personally).
- They were pretty good about updating the drivers for it, and released a driver that added Switch compatibility some time after the original release of the product.
Cons:- The analog sticks are small, so they have a limited range of motion. This means it's harder to have precision movement for games like FPS games, though they're fine for general movement for things like twin-stick shooters.
- The shoulder buttons are next to each other rather than stacked, which makes them a bit difficult to use. You can hit the inside button with your fingertips and the outside button with the middle of your finger, but it's hard to acclimate to in practice.
- The analog sticks do catch on things a bit when packing it in a bag, so you may want a small case for the controller.
In general, it makes for a great spare controller, especially for the price. The Pro 2 version seems to add motion controls and rumble, but appears to be otherwise the same.
